Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an addiction relief device drug addicts and use of Device for the addiction relief of drug addicts.
  • Addictions such as drug addiction, nicotine, Methadone, alcohol and the like are in today's society very common and their fight or the healing of these Disease is a key socio-political concern.
  • addiction relief from hard drugs like heroin, Cocaine and the like is an important aspect socially and politically Therapies that can lead to addiction relief are therefore paid the utmost attention.
  • the object is achieved by means of a device, according to the wording of claim 1 and a use the device, according to the wording of claim 9, solved.
  • the device or method for addiction free drug addiction People is based on having two electrodes, which one be glued on both sides to a patient’s mastoid, electrically bipolar pulses with adjustable amplitude size, pulse duration and frequency are applied, which cause enkephalins are released at the opiate receptors.
  • This type of electrical stimulation of the nerve cells in the Brain becomes the availability of enkephaline at the opiate receptors increased, whereby the externally supplied opiate to the Repressing receptors, which previously blocked the receptors and suppressed enkephaline production.
  • Frequency Depending on the opiate to be displaced, a different one is determined Frequency used.
  • FIG. 1 For the description of the device according to the invention or Use of the device for patient addiction relief reference is made to the attached FIG. 1, in which the inventive Device and the transmission of the impulses is shown schematically on the patient.
  • the device is via interface 1 from a computer or Host controller programmed to the specific opiates from which man should be liberated.
  • the microcontroller 2 takes over following data: pulse duration, repetition modulation frequency, Duration of application and rhythm. After programming communication between the device and the computer separately and connected to two electrodes 7 which are to be treated People are glued to the mastoid 5 on both sides.
  • the microcontroller 2 then generates via the pulse generator 3 the specific programmed electrical pulses and controls the power driver 10, at the output of which an isolating transformer 6 ensures the safety of people.
  • an isolating transformer 6 ensures the safety of people.
  • the electrodes are connected and on the mastoid 5 glued.
  • the stimulus voltage can be controlled using an operating element 4 set as desired in a specified range.
  • the power driver 10 is supplied by a separate power source 8, which is arbitrary during longer treatment times can be exchanged without losing the programming data, which remain secured by a backup battery.
  • Interface 1 can be an optical, inductive, electromagnetic or electrical coupling with the computer act.
  • Any frequency pattern can be impressed on the Power Driver 10 be it from externally connectable sources or from im Device self-generated, callable patterns (e.g. "white” or “pink” noise, music, text, etc.).
  • the adhesive electrodes can also be provided with sound generators that cover the audible range and the ultrasound range.
  • the sounders can be piezo transducers.
  • the operating state and the operating data as well as other specific data determined by remote inquiry become.
  • the programming device can be a computer, a host controller or be a programming unit attached to the device itself.
  • the setting is made the stimulus voltage not by the control element 4, but is automatically tracked via the skin resistance, the is measured on the electrodes.
  • the pulse duration and repetition frequency can be automatically or manually by a so-called Update or correct feedback, whereby the feedback by measuring the skin resistance, which is under Circumstances about the patient's state of arousal gives.
  • a bipolar rectangular pulse is used as the pulse shape at one Pulse duration of approx. 250 ⁇ s / period.
  • the stimulus tension is on Potentiometer adjustable from 30V - 100V.
